KBR was awarded a contract by Samsung Engineering to provide
a technology license, basic
engineering design package, and supply of proprietary equipment
for a 1,200 tpd ammonia fertilizer plant in Carrasco,
Bolivia, the company said on Friday.

The fertilizer ammonia complex will be designed using
KBRs Purifiertechnology. KBR will additionally
supply proprietary operator training simulators and a steam
dynamic simulation study to ensure a safe, fast, efficient
startup of the ammonia plant and continued support to the
operations.

This project is part of the Bolivian
governments strategic initiatives for monetization of
natural gas and demand for urea in the region, with production
operations expected to begin in mid-2015.

We look forward to working with Samsung Engineering on
this project which contributes to both
strategic initiatives and overall development of the country of
Bolivia, said John Derbyshire, president of KBR Technology.

This award represents an opportunity to further expand
KBRs footprint in the Latin American market."
